Gay Aquarians;)

Aquarius - ruled by the planets Uranus and Saturn, this is the fixed AIR sign. Despite being called the water bearer (a misnomer), what he actually pours out is spiritual ethers. Aquarius is stubborn, unpredictable, social and inventive. Electric blue and shades of blues are their colors; lapis lazuli is their stone. Sexually Aquarius gets bored easily if sex becomes routine or a duty.

Applies to Aquarius Sun sign, Aquarius Ascendant, and those with Uranus on the Ascendant.

Gay Aquarians are almost invariably attractive, though it may be as much their personalities or spiritual natures as it is their physical appearances that draw others to them. Usually, there is a strong aura of masculinity about them. They are tall and well-built; many choose to engage in sports or exercise that will develop their muscularity.

However, they may not be aware of the reasons for this. Their sign is that of the waterbearer, and water is an extremely heavy element to carry. They must be strong, robust, and healthy to bear such a weight. (Symbolically, what they carry is an intense spirituality and intellectualism, confined and concealed within an urn. The motto "a healthy mind in a healthy body" is a very Aquarian one.)

The Aquarian's facial structure is generally rather long or narrow, with some feature or facet slightly unusual or strikingly noticeable. In most cases it will be the nose or the mouth that is prominent, but not always, for Aquarius is a highly individualistic sign.

Contrasting with other aspects of his appearance, the Aquarian's complexion may be delicate or fair, with clear hazel eyes that have a rather sanguine or melancholy set to them. Their hair may vary from sandy to dark; to the Aquarian's frustration, it seems, however, to have a will of its own, with cowlicks or waves that are difficult to control.

THE AQUARIUS NATURE

Aquarius is the sign where Uranus, the planetary ruler of homosexuality and bisexuality, is most comfortable. It is the sign of its home. For this reason, one would expect Aquarians to represent the largest percentage of the gay population. But this is not, in fact, the case. Because Uranus is comfortable in Aquarius, it emphasizes the spiritual rather than the physical side of homosexuality. Most Aquarians, straight as well as gay, feel a strong spiritual bond with those of their own sex as well as with the opposite sex.

Because Aquarius is the waterbearer, many people also think of it as a Water sign, though it is an Air sign. Being the Air sign that occurs at the peak of winter, it carries water. And being Fixed, it generally carries it in the form of snow or ice. The significance of this is that Aquarius can be coldly intellectual, perhaps the most objective of all signs.

In some ways, the Aquarius may seem like a cold, unfeeling machine; indeed, he would like others to think that he is. However, he is generally quite sensitive, and he has an abundance of sympathy for those around him, though it may appear to be rather impersonal because his responses are invariably of an intellectual nature.

Aquarius is the most intellectual of signs, and the one w ith the greatest degree of social consciousness. The motto of the French Revolution- ,'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity',-is deeply meaningful to Aquarians, who devote themselves toward achieving an ideal society through social reforms. Their belief in democracy and the "rights of man" is a devout one, and their opinions are extremely liberal ones, so extreme at times that they may become dogmatic and be looked upon as cranks.

We are supposedly approaching the Aquarian Age, yet Aquarius is always uncomfortable with the existing age and the prevailing norms. They can be so unconventional and so uncomfortable with the status quo that they indeed become "rebels without a cause:" (It is more than mere coincidence that the star of the film, Rebel Without a Cause, was James Dean, an Aquarian. )

Most often, however, they do have a cause, and it is generally a humanitarian one. They affiliate themselves with groups that have social objectives, and they draw others to themselves, inevitably becoming leaders, despite their eccentric temperaments.

Aquarius delights in meeting new people, and it is amazing how they consistently attract others, for they do not really go out of their way to make people like them. They are highly opinionated, very determined, and extremely stubborn. Yet those very qualities can be fascinating to others.

Most Aquarians despise hypocrisy and lies; and they abhor snobbery and affectation. When they perceive those qualities in others, they become like a small child faced with a balloon-they cannot resist puncturing it. They don't mind if they lose or discard a friend, for they will always find new ones. They are so stubbornly sure that their own opinions and ideas are right that they will become argumentative at the drop of a hat. And they cannot understand when others are unreceptive to their ideas.

Generally their arguments and insults are not intended as personal, and they cannot always see why they are taken personally. This is the one blind spot in their usually keen perception and intuition of others. But they don't suffer long from the loss of friends. They move on quickly to new ones. Though, somehow, they do manage to keep many loyal and devoted friends for long periods of time, friends who understand and love them.

When Aquarius has problems, he usually exaggerates them, revealing the restless anxieties that lurk beneath his surface calm.

So strong is the desire for knowledge in the Aquarian that he will constantly ask questions, yet he is so impatient that he will usually go on to the next question before the first is answered.

Sexually, Aquarius may not be an extremely passionate lover, but he can be unconventional, inventive, and imaginative. He is capable of loving one person deeply, though that love may appear to be impersonal, and he may have a desire or need for group sex. It is extremely important for Aquarius' lover to be his best friend as well. It is also necessary that his lover or partner realize Aquarius is faithful in his own way and that he looks upon sex as something quite separate from love.

Aquarius sets his sites on distant goals, and he will almost always achieve them, though it may not seem possible to others, who perceive his actions as too erratic for consistency, for Aquarius does everything in stops and starts. They also have a tendency to take on too many projects at one time, and it seems that they cannot possibly finish them all. However, they are aware of their responsibilities, and they will eventually accomplish everything, if given the opportunity.

For that reason, it is important that Aquarius' partner or lover understand this aspect of his nature and not attempt to interfere, but grant him the freedom he needs to act alone.

THE AQUARIUS CHALLENGE

The life challenge for gay Aquarius is to ''stop and smell the roses;' to realize that feelings and emotions are as important as ideas and social goals. They must discover that persons are as important as humanity, and that they themselves do not have to be cold efficient machines serving society. Aquarius' own needs are important, as are the needs of those he loves.

Aquarius is also challenged to learn patience, for himself as well as for others, and to admit when he makes mistakes. He can accept himself as imperfect, and as human as those he seeks to serve. The service he performs will be more meaningful when it is done with genuine personal feeling.

Gay aquarians comprise the major gay population...ofcourse it brings me smile but what do you think?

I think that this is almost spot on. I am an aquarius and I relate to the majority of those things said. I used to not be interested in zodiac signs at all and then I read something like this awhile back and have been fascinated by it. Thanks for posting!

running11 saidI think that this is almost spot on. I am an aquarius and I relate to the majority of those things said. I used to not be interested in zodiac signs at all and then I read something like this awhile back and have been fascinated by it. Thanks for posting!

It's also pretty spot on for me, though I am on the Aries/Taurus cusp.

MenschPress saidDespite the fact that I'm an aquarius and much of the above describes me, I still say it's all coincidence.

Its not coincidence, they make the descriptions vague enough to be able to describe anybody and then people think it's about them. There was a study done where a psychology teacher had his kids fill out a survey and a week later a company would send them back their zodiac results and traits. When the kids opened up their results the teacher asked who thought their results were pretty accurate. Everyone raised their hands, then he said switch results with the person next to you and read theirs. All the results were the exact same.....

That must have been written by an Aquarius. I think it is far off the mark. I think this is how an Aquarian perceives himself. For one to believe he is the "most intellectual" person in the room most definitely sounds like an Aquarius.

I have known and been close to a great many Aquarians in my lifetime and still have not found one that can be honest with themselves and those around them. If you catch an Aquarian in a lie and confront him/her, just expect another lie to explain the first. It really is somewhat wrong to expect honesty from someone that truly is not living in this reality.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think the Aquarian sign is a bad thing, I think Aquarians have many positive and amazing traits. There are many Aquarians I simply adore. I just don't think this posted assessment is correct. I am always amazed at how an Aquarian can be so forgiving when they are wronged, and it is humbling and I wish I had that wisdom and insight of us humans to truly understand we are all "just human". They are also immensely capable of finding the good in others and to make friendships with anyone. As an Aries, I get along with Aquarians because we both follow the beat of a different drum and don't rely on already established norms. The Aquarian sign is truly the sign of "humanity", along with all its foibles and shortcomings, while containing and immense amount of altruistic abilities. They are usually successful in their endeavors, which usually will be comprised of striving to be popular and prosperous. Do not expect an Aquarian friend to help you out in your time of need, they will probably think you are a pariah of bad juju and run for the hills.

The negative side: chronic liars, can be extremely pretentious and haughty, somewhat lazy in physical terms, the epitome of hypocrisy(just picture Ronald Reagan's, an Aquarius, Trickle Down Theory established to help the poor and misfortunate). Total lack of understanding true logic.

Thats not fair at all. You are using an experience you have had with a friend or two in the past and seem pretty bitter. I am none of these and have always prided myself on being honest and as far as being pretentious, I admit to living a very simple lifestyle. All who know me will attest to this. Hell, if I cant go out to eat in a t-shirt and shorts then I usually dont go. I know there is good and bad in everyone, even you.

Na, I'm not bitter or anything in regards to what I wrote. I just wrote down the negative aspects that one MIGHT see in an Aquarian.....so it's more like the tendencies of the sign. I don't think all Aquarians have these traits. C'mon, I'm not that crazy yet....this is just me summing up the extremely far end of the spectrum. If an Astrologist wrote that a negative aspect of an Aries is to enjoy inflicting pain on others, I would have to agree, but then again I don't think that is any tendency of mine.....well....maybe just a lil bit of a tendency...

I am a Pisces, the famously flighty & final side of the zodiac. But I do have a Aquarius Rising, which I think helps to counteract some of the less desirable Pisces traits you often hear about, , such as Pisces being emotionally bi-polar, substance abuser, etc..

That being said, it can also be said that Aquarians Can sometimes come off to others as chilly, distant, and maybe with a touch of pretension

attempting to sum up someones total self by their sun sign is rarely accurate. each of the planets, in astrology, are representative of different urges within us.

sun = our core self, egomoon = emotional selfmercury = how we communicatevenus = how/what, we love, how/what we attractmars = how we act, sexual sidejupiter = how we expand, learn, optimistic capacitysaturn = how we structure and discipline ourselves, responsible selfuranus = how/where we are uniqueneptune = how we dream, fantasy side, capacity for honesty, addictive sidepluto = how/where we focus, what we obsess and have power with

some people never relate to their sun sign, because their ego is something they aren't familiar with. moon sign is usually a part of themselves people can connect with more.

im not trying to criticize you with my reply. but the system and science of astrology is very complex, and just dealing with a sun sign is a small piece of a complex puzzle.

for instance.. an Aries is "supposed" to be very assertive, full of confidence action and energy. well, what about an Aries that isn't assertive or confident? obviously not every Aries out there is. there are reasons for that, and knowing more to astrology will answer those questions.

not in astrology. when certain planets interact with each other, by levels of degrees they can alter the true meaning of the planet. sometimes completely, sometimes it can be a pitfall of sorts, sometimes (esp with Saturn) it can be something that is temporary and has to get worked through.

in your example.. sure.. a box is a box. if the box is the sun, then the square and triangle are the other planets, or the moon. now, where they are in relation is going to reflect how the sun is going to play out, and the power it actually has.

Saturn and Neptune can have very negative, or difficult, affects on planets. Jupiter can have very positive affects on planets. that's what makes astrology really complex, with many layers. its hard to ever just pigeon-hole someone into a category or "personality" based on 1 single planet, sign, house or aspect.

mars conjunct sun in aries is a really powerful combination. i have the same, but in my 12th. without knowing the rest of your chart, i'd probably say you are very impulsive, quick tempered, probably work your ass off, and more than likely have good health. not sure where saturn or neptune are - which could change the health part.

the rising isn't just how others view you. it's also how you go about things. it's how others view you, and you view the world. you are a scorpio rising, yes? if that is the case, then you probably approach and see things from a very deep level of intensity. add to that how mars (ruler of Scorpio, along with Pluto) is in Aries.. and i would say you are VERY impulsive, and have a very deep and dark power about you. you'd probably be a good athlete, or someone that needs and uses lots of energy and strength.
